Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
The new NEO NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES serial digital video
routing switcher series is a modular system, which features high-level
remote control capabilities and a multi-functional 1RU or 3 RU
mounting frame into which a wide range of routing (and signal
processing/interface) modules can be installed. Other complementary
signal formats, such analog video, HD/SDI, and analog audio, will be
included in the NEO platform in order to complement the NEO AES
audio switch. Module sizes include 8×1 and 7×2 with auto-switch
capabilities. HD, digital, and analog audio/video modules can be
installed within the same frame. Multiple frames can be combined to
build complex, multi-level routing systems using Blue3Technology -
the Leitch/Harris Dynamic Routing Fabric. This module, as is the case
with all modules in the NEO family, can be controlled locally via a
front-edge display or from a remote location.
Main Features
The NEO NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES series encompasses an entirely
new family of routing switchers designed to add a new tier of digital
audio routing matrices to our already strong routing product portfolio.
The NEO NSM series has additional control and functionality above
and beyond the limitations of our other small routing families.
These are the main features of the NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES serial
digital audio routing switcher:
• Provides high quality AES audio routing with enhanced control and
monitoring capabilities.
• Includes the following matrix configurations:
•8×1
•7×2
• 8×1 with automatic backup
• Supports these signal types:
• AES3
• 30kHz – 100kHz frame rates in asynchronous mode
• 32Hz, 44.1 Hz, 48kHz in synchronous mode
• Any 50% duty cycle digital signal within the voltage and
frequency range

• Allows relay bypass
• Includes synchronous or asynchronous switching
• Accepts NTSC/PAL/AES references for switching
• Allows “mix and match” of signal types in the same frame
• Provides BOS/CCS Pilot™ integrated control capabilities:
• System discovery / diagnostics – SNMP
• Remote control – Ethernet
• Remote monitoring and configuration
• Provides control via local panel, RS-232/RS-422, X-Y, or
IP/Ethernet
• Allows signal processing (A/D, D/A, frame synchronizers,
distribution amplifiers, etc.) functions and matrix routing can be
mixed in the same frame
Backup Switching
During the course of everyday events in a television facility, unexpected
circumstances will occur. Although undesirable, these circumstances do
not have to be catastrophic. With the new NEO series of professional
audio and video routers, the occurrence of such an event will be
manageable. While they cannot protect against every undesirable
condition, the NEO series of routers are designed to provide a backup
for some of the more common situations. Two such conditions are loss
of signal and loss of power. In the event of a signal loss to an individual
input or the disruption of power to a single card or an entire frame, NEO
routers can automatically switch to a predetermined source, thereby
allowing you time to evaluate and correct the fault condition.
By use of the front-edge control or remote communications you can
configure the NSM-8×1AES to either automatically switch upon
detection of signal failure, or manually switch to the desired source.
The switching can be controlled locally by using front edge control or
remotely by using our Command and Control System (CCS).

Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
Chapter 1: Introduction
The NSM-8×1AES is configurable as an 8×1 with auto switch-over to
Input 1 if any of the inputs experience excessive errors or loss of signal.
The NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES monitors all inputs for coding errors
in the AES stream, which is known as biphase encoding errors. The
module also monitors all inputs for deterioration of the “eye pattern”
caused by transmission path effects, which is known as confidence
errors. If excessive biphase or confidence errors occur, or if the signal is
lost entirely, a signal presence error is reported for that input.
Switch Algorithm/Method
The NSM-8×1AES can operate manually or with one dedicated
automatic backup. The NSM-8×1AES router can be configured with
back-up functionality and operated in one of three modes of operation:
manual, return auto, and non-return auto.
•Inmanual mode (NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES), you must switch
the router to the desired source regardless of signal presence. This
mode of operation is typical of other Leitch/Harris legacy routers.
There will be no automatic switching unless power is removed.
During a “No Power” condition, the signal on Input 1 will be routed
to the output. The router will return to the previous state upon
power restoration.
•Inreturn auto mode (NSM-8×1AES only), the router will
automatically switch to Input 1 if a signal presence error is detected
on the currently selected input. If the currently selected input is
Input 1 and it loses the signal, the output will be muted. If the signal
returns, the router will automatically switch back to its previous
source. The switch executes regardless of the signal presence status
on Input 1.
•Innon-return auto mode (NSM-8×1AES only), the router will
automatically switch to Input 1 if a signal presence error is detected
on the currently selected input. If the currently selected input is
Input 1 and it loses the signal, the output will be muted. The switch
executes regardless of the signal presence status on Input 1. In this
mode, the router will not automatically switch back to the original
source if the signal on the original input is detected again.
When you remove power from the router or remove the router front
main switch module from the frame, the output will automatically
switch to source 1 as the backup. When you restore power to the router,
it will automatically reset itself to the previous state.
Note
All conditions are available to
both the front edge control and
the Command and Control
System, including matrix status
and signal presence.

Applications
The NEO platform is ideal for space-constrained operations demanding
full local and remote control capabilities in a routing solution. It is
especially useful where professional end-users require a small, flexible,
high quality routing matrix with the ability to mix and match signal
formats and/or signal processing functions within the same frame:
• Television production facilities
• Cable operators
• Production and post-production facilities
• Outside broadcast vans/trucks
• DBS satellite operations

Chapter 1: Introduction
Major Components
The NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES consists of a main switch module
and a back input/output (I/O) module. The main switch module is
installed from the front of the frame, and is hot-swappable. The back
I/O module is installed from the rear of the frame.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
The NSM matrix module name consists of two separate components,
which represent the NEO part designation and the module type:
AES Digital Audio Main Switch Module
The NSM-8×1AES input module accepts a total of 8 input signals from
the back module, plus 1 reference input. These inputs are processed and
switched, then driven out the back module.
The NSM-7×2AES input module accepts a total of 7 input signals from
the back module, plus 1 reference input. These inputs are processed and
switched, then driven out the back module.
Processor Block
The NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES uses a Phillips 89C662
microprocessor (an 8052 derivative).
FPGA
The FPGA performs all switching functions on the module. Through
the AES reference receiver, the FPGA aligns all input signals to the
reference in synchronous mode. Provided that all inputs are locked to
this AES reference, the FPGA ensures that switching occurs at the
beginning of the AES preamble, which prevents data corruption and
loss of lock in downstream equipment. In addition, all input signals are
buffered and regenerated based on the reference, which eliminates input
jitter. When an NTSC or PAL video reference is used, the FPGA
ensures that switching is performed in the vertical blanking interval.
Power Requirements
The NSM-8×1AES/NSM-7×2AES module requires +24 volts input
power, which is provided by the frame power supply.
